Pros

Very dynamic environment, especially deployment activities A company with a lot of smart employees, so there was a lot of learning techniques and bright ideas for problem solving going on.

Cons

Long hours, lots of travel -- this wasn't always appreciated by management. Too many managers as the company was trying to beef up.

Pros

It was a positive environment/culture. Very smart people with great ideas that were heard. People were committed to provide tools for sales & services to make and keep the customer happy. The training and services team always helped each other- sharing knowledge, best practices, tips & tricks at any hour of the day. Ron Zambonini was the most passionate and engaging CEO.

Cons

A bubble burst when Ron stepped down as CEO in '04. I think the prod dev had a big miss with the web dev of analysis studio, very weak against PowerPlay. Was a boys club and not everyone was allowed in.
